HalaYalla is an exciting new app to help you organize and participate in activities in your area without any of the headache you usually have to deal with. But it’s more than just an organizer. With HalaYalla, you have the opportunity to connect with people, try new things, learn new skills and most importantly to have fun in a way that you haven’t before! The idea was born and built in Saudi Arabia because we believed that there was a better way to get people together. We’ve lived, worked and most importantly had to organize activities here ourselves so we know how difficult it can be. It’s why we’ve built what we’ve built and we wouldn’t release anything into the world that we wouldn’t be proud to use ourselves! Our team consists of brilliant and passionate people whose expertise in sports event management and UX mobile design has helped us build an innovative, user-‐friendly and just plain awesome app that we know you will love!
